[thelist] digital camera

[Bill Haenel]

I probably don't have the popular opinion, but I do know cameras pretty
well, and what makes a good value. Nikon certainly has a quality line, and
I've only ever seen them make a bad model a few times. However, my choice
for consistently good *value* is Olympus. Good glass, good imaging, good
price. Plus, their more recent models do have USB. And certainly if your
budget does not permit the purchase of a Nikon, It's hard to beat the
quality of a middle-to-top-end Oly (avoid their bottom end products, as is
the case with most camera manufacturers' lines).

My department has said they are willing to buy a digital camera for
me to use at work.  It needs to be a good value though.

What I need to do is take good pictures (mostly around campus) for
the web. I need USB.  I need to be able to take indoors shots without
having to use flash.  I want to be able to set it to take black &
white.  I want zoom.  Maybe I want other stuff but I don't know
enough to say.

Basically, I would use the camera to make photos indoors (portraits &
objects) and outdoors (buildings, people, vegetation) on campus.  I'd
then edit them for the web site.  They would not be used for print.

Suggestions for a good value?

Thanks,

Erika
